APPLY NOW: Rapsodo Mobile Launch Monitor! 3 Testers Needed!

[HopsandVinyl]

1. City and State? Dubuque, IA

2. Where do you practice (outdoors or indoors?) Mostly outdoors, looking to build out an indoor space for this winter

3. Have you used a personal launch monitor before? not one at this price point, have used a Trackman in a couple of fittings and Skytrack in a simulator

4. How could a Rapsodo MLM help your game? Trying to get more consistent with my distance and swings. This would help that immensely.

5. Do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing thread, posting reviews and photos? Absolutely.

[No3whackin]

1.  Salem, South Carolina

2.  I practice almost exclusively outdoors, though I am building an indoor area for simulated practice and play.  Just have the putting green in for now.

3.  I’ve tried a couple personal launch monitors, but have yet to find one that I really love.

4.  I’m hoping the Rapsodo MLM will really help me dial in my spin rates through the bag.  I’m a +1 working to get down to a +4 and compete again in the state and National amateur events.  Tightening my shot dispersion and windows via optimizing my spin rates and launch angles will certainly help get me where I’d like to be.

5.  Can’t wait to be a part of the test group!  I hope my experience and feedback can help Rapsodo and other fellow WRXers.

5)Yes, I would be honored to participate in ongoing testing threads and provide valuable feedback

[DufferdocJF]

I practice both outdoors & indoors

I’ve used a personal launch monitor before—a Zepp swing monitor & a 2010-era launch monitor

Rapsodo MLM could help my game by improving feedback from my practice shots.

4. How could a Rapsodo MLM help your game? Recently tweaked my swing which ended up increase distance for my clubs. Haven't had the chance to do some range sessions using my current launch monitor but  I'd love to be able to setup one device for shot tracking AND video recording.

Apply now! Three testers are needed. 

 

[malonso23]

1. City and State?

West Palm Beach, FL

2. Where do you practice (outdoors or indoors?)

Outdoors

3. Have you used a personal launch monitor before?

No

4. How could a Rapsodo MLM help your game?

Would be great to see my actual distances and spin rates

5. Do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing thread, posting reviews and photos?

Yes

[Russ Trippensee]

1. Jefferson City, MO

2. Practice indoors with a JC Video system and FlightScope launch monitor at my club to work on mechanics. Outdoor practice on range to improve ball striking off real turf, get better feedback on flight/trajectory control and do drills to control distance with wedges.

3. I have not used a personal launch monitor but owned a older generation FlightScope previously. 

4. A personal launch monitor would provide instant accurate feedback when working with scoring clubs, particularly 9s and wedges on the partial shots.  Obviously tinkering with drivers/shafts would also be helpful.

As the only club repair shop in the area, I am always being ask about shaft options.  Real data would help many golfers around the capital city of Missouri. 

5. I certainly agree to participate in a thread, forum or other means of communicating the results of working with the new unit.  Pictures definitely bring more life to these communications. 

[joelafives]

I'd love to test an ANDROID VERSION.  When can we expect that?

[Troezen]

City and State? Freeport, ME

2. Where do you practice (outdoors or indoors?) Both. Indoor with my net and outdoor at the range.

3. Have you used a personal launch monitor before? Yes, I have a Skytrak.

4. How could a Rapsodo MLM help your game? I would love to see club data specifically. My Skytrak is great but the lack of club data and video connection is a big factor. I also do not like that the Skytrak is very cumbersome (if not difficult) to use outdoors. I'm looking for an alternative that is more portable.

5. Do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing thread, posting reviews and photos? Yes, most definitely. I have a lot of LM experience (In addition to my Skytrak I use a TM4 all winter at my club) which I can compare to the MLM, obviously taking into account the difference in price point.

3. Have you used a personal launch monitor before? No

4. How could a Rapsodo MLM help your game? #1. It would help me knowing a more accurate yardage that I am hitting my clubs, #2. To coat-tail onto the yardage, it would also help realize more accurate yardage for my 1/2 or 3/4 swings, and #3. It provides instant feedback that helps see progressive improvements in swing speed, for example.

5. Do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing thread, posting reviews and photos? Absolutely. I would be glad to.

[stevenmd]

Towson,Maryland 

public driving range or a net at home

Only once during a fitting

i believe that having the data on hand will help identify and correct any problems that arise. Also it will help in sharpen distances.

I’m willing to report any and all my data and thoughts of how it performs.

 

[Orange Hog]

1. City and State?  Bentonville AR

2. Where do you practice (outdoors or indoors?)  Both - I have a BYOBalls range near my house that goes back to around 160 yards, so I'll use that facility to work on short game and 8/9/PW approach shots.  Also have an indoor setup in my garage with a Net Return that I use daily.  At least once a week I'm at the First Tee with my kids, as well.

3. Have you used a personal launch monitor before?  Previously had an SC300 for outdoor use.  Noticed it had some issues with accuracy so I sold it.  Also had a SkyTrak in my garage set up.

4. How could a Rapsodo MLM help your game?  It would hands down be my most used practice tool at home and at the range.

5. Do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing thread, posting reviews and photos?  Yes

[Torrey4Life]

1. City and State?  San Diego, CA

[cinco94]

1. City and State?  Westerly, Rhode Island

2. Where do you practice (outdoors or indoors?)  Generally outdoors but will practice indoors during winter

3. Have you used a personal launch monitor before?  Had access to Trackman on college golf team

4. How could a Rapsodo MLM help your game?  It would come to the range with me every time I go, which is at least 3-4 times a week.  I imagine I would bring it out on the course when I play alone and intend to practice instead of play for a serious score.  I also travel and play between the east and west coast often so tracking my numbers in the different climates would seem to be very useful.  It can also be very windy where I play in Rhode Island so being able to monitor the launch and spin for control while I practice would be very helpful.  

5. Do you agree to participate in an ongoing testing thread, posting reviews and photos? Yes.
